Gimp-Print 4.3.4, released August 20, 2002, is a development release of this package. This software includes the Print plug-in for the Gimp, and GhostScript and CUPS drivers, including Foomatic data. The Gimp Print plugin requires the Gimp 1.2. The CUPS driver requires CUPS 1.1.9 or higher. 1.1.14 or above is highly recommended, as certain translation-related bugs are fixed and it is possible to print true CMYK. The Ghostscript driver requires Ghostscript 5.50, 6.51, or any later GNU Ghostscript release based on 6.51 (e. g. 6.52). The IJS GhostScript plugin driver requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53 or later or APFL GhostScript 7.04 or later. Please read the README file for full instructions on building and installing this package. Gimp-Print 4.3.4 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print 4.3.3: 1) A new raw output mode is provided. This permits the driver to pass the color information through unchanged. Each channel is dithered individually (including the photo channels on 6 and 7 color printers). Currently, this is only supported on Epson Stylus printers. This is currently only accessible via the testpattern generator. This could be used in conjunction with external color generation as part of a fully color managed workflow. 2) Improvements for various Epson Stylus printers, and support for some new printers, as detailed in src/ghost/README. 3) Assorted bug fixes merged from the 4.2 branch. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gimp Print/stp -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
